''THE SUPREME ART OF WARFARE IS TO subdue the enemy without fighting.'' This master and even final strategic and tactical input comes from no one other than, Sun Tzu 

STUDENTS AND HUMANS have changed dramatically in our 200,000 years of history and existence.

We've gotten taller, we live longer and we're damn smarter.

We've built giant cities, domesticated animals and plants, and created and destroyed ecosystems And the technology we built is progressing at a blistering pace. And that pace keeps picking up.

Things like flying cars sophisticated artificial intelligence, and quantum computers may emerge from science fiction into reality in less time than we think.

Almost all categories of warfare have one common integrated component and that is social media warfare. So to understand them, familiarising ourselves with social media warfare is of immense and grave importance.

Social media is no longer just a collection of apps used to share your vacation pictures and posting daily updates regarding your life, it has now become a major weapon of manipulation, deception, and propaganda.

It has all the ingredients that can be used to disrupt the economic, social and political system of any country. It has proved dangerous as traditional wars; and in fact is more dangerous in some ways because the enemy is no longer visible.

Furthermore, it has blunted the lines between war and peace, between criminal acts and acts of war, between combatant and non-combatant, between adversary and non-adversary, and between the domestic and international environment.

PROPAGANDA AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE are not new, but social media due to its unique nature makes this kind of warfare more effective and lethal.

Let's remember Sun Tzu's principle, the supreme art of warfare is to subdue the enemy without fighting. The lethality of social media warfare is attributed to the weaponisation of information.

The available gets weaponised when it is designed with careful strategic aiming to manipulate, deceive and confuse its target audience either through fake news or distortion of facts.

The unique nature of social media defined through its reach, permanence and immdiacy makes it a perfect tool as compared to traditional media, and the most effective and cheapest weapon to employ against any adversary.

Furthermore, social media allows individuals to create their own facts and their own version of reality.

Through the platform, they generate ideas, give meaning to reality and even generate conflicts because a well-crafted voral message supported by powerful imagery can become a massive campaign.

As information gets decentralised on social media, it shifts power to individuals from states - who previously controlled information through traditional sources of media.

This in result gives enough space to individuals and groups to create their own area of influence and empowers them in a way never imagined before.

The Honor and Serving of the latest Global Operational Research on Digital Warfare and State-of-the-world, continues.

With respectful dedication to the Grandparents, Parents, Leaders, Students, Professors and Teachers of the world. See Ya all prepare for Great Global Elections and ''register'' on : wssciw.blogspot.com  and Twitter- !E-WOW! - the Ecosystem 2011:
